SYLVIA PLATH KNOWS ME. INSIDE.
"...I saw my life branching out before me like the green fig tree in the story. From the tip of every branch, like a fat purple fig, a wonderful future beckoned and winked. One fig was a husband and a happy home and children, and another fig was a famous poet and another fig was a brilliant professor, and another fig was Ee Gee, the amazing editor, and another fig was Europe and Africa and South America, and another fig was Constantin and Socrates and Attila and a pack of other lovers with queer names and offbeat professions, and another fig was an Olympic lady crew champion, and beyond and above these figs were many more figs I couldn't quite make out.
I saw myself sitting in the crotch of this fig tree, starving to death, just because I couldn't make up my mind which of the figs I would choose. I wanted each and every one of them, but choosing one meant losing all the rest, and, as I sat there, unable to decide, the figs began to wrinkle and go black, and, one by one, they plopped to the ground at my feet." - Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar, Chapter 7
Hi. My name is
Sarah
and I live by the sea. I like pirates and vikings and my audio cassette tape player.
I am 24 years old and pretty much covered in sand all the time. This is my website. It likes long walks on the beach,
people who know the lyrics to CCR songs and the word "flummoxed".To learn more news of marginal excitement, go here.
Hey Sarah, what are
ye listening to?
I am taking a light jaunt down memory lane today and craving the songs I loved back in 1995 and beyond. Strong recollections of lying in bed, in my blue and purple wallpapered bedroom, windows wide open, singing along to Alanis Morisette
and the Friends theme song at the top of my lungs. I'm digging old skool Jewel, House of Pain's "Jump Around" and more Cure than you can shake a stick at. Old techno songs, too - "It's A Fine Day" by ATB, "Rapture" by Iio, "Everytime You Need Me" by Fragma = the summer anthems of my heart.

I'M READING:
From Dead To Worse by Charlaine Harris.:
- "After the natural disaster of Hurricane Katrina and the manmade explosion at the vampire summit, everyone—human and otherwise—is stressed, including Louisiana cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse, who is trying to cope with the fact that her boyfriend Quinn has gone missing.
It’s clear that things are changing—whether the weres and vamps of her corner of Louisiana like it or not. And Sookie—Friend to the Pack and blood-bonded to Eric Northman, leader of the local vampire community—is caught up in the changes.
In the ensuing battles, Sookie faces danger, death, and once more, betrayal by someone she loves. And when the fur has finished flying and the cold blood finished flowing, her world will be forever altered."

ahaha... i see you have discovered the addictive properties of making mixed tapes!!!
i was thinking the other day about making an actual mixed tape. i even bought one at the sketchy dollar store near our house.
i intend to singlehandedly bring back the mixed tape.
I used to make the awesomest mix tapes of all time*. But I stopped when the cassette tape went the way of vinyl.... :)
